LZD56 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 [quote name='dr bonkers' timestamp='1504985784' post='3368743'] Who out there has one with a bass with trans trem? I almost ordered a 5 string custom with trans trem from Ned in the late 80's and never pulled the trigger. I still regret it as they are like unobtanium at this point. [/quote] There's one on ebay right now - £2900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblueplanet Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 [quote name='MattM' timestamp='1505068088' post='3369283'] Re lefty XL2, its possibly an XL2A which are the latter active variants. Volume, pickup pan and bass treble boost/cut latter two of which have centre dentents. The bog standard XL2 would have no detents and a standard Jazz typ VVT. [/quote] Thanks for that. It is exactly as you describe so must indeed be an XL2A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmayhem Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Dingwalls and Laklands in all its glory, but NOTHING with four strings sound better than a real all carbon fiber/epoxy Steinberger through a good amp and ditto cabinet. Nothing! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hohner was well made and reliable and served it's functional purpose of readying my technique for when I could get a Steinberger. IMO there isn't another Bass like Steinberger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
